Let's say he could still be turned on enough to make love with you in bed and enjoy it, but he just didn't think your face was pretty/attractive, but was able to look past that and be loyal to you. He didn't have a roving eye, but you just weren't anywhere near his 'ideal.' Still, his principles/love for you kept him from straying.

Other than that he looked you deeply. He himself was reasonably attractive?

Could you stay with a man like that? Why or why not?

I mean men do it all the time, is it really harder for a woman to do the same (not saying anyone should or should not), or is it because they're told they have to look beautiful/their best?

DARN i put 'no' as the last option but the auto thing put 'not really my thing' instead. Well I guess it's the same deal lol.

Um...and how would the woman know that the man felt that way? I seriously doubt that if he truly loved her, he would ever describe her looks in that manner.

Some men will tell you that you aren't their type physically

I want to be the total package to my partner. It would drive me insane if I knew I wasn't his type

I think you mistyped one of your sentences - Are you asking if we'd be with a man that didn't find US attractive or a man that WE didn't find attractive?

Either way - if you truly love someone, meaning you are IN love with them - you find them attractive. If you don't find them attractive - you aren't in love with them and there's no point.

Perhaps. But those men don't love you. That was my point.

Hmm. I'm not sure I got it.

So, I guess I'd have to say, it's ok for me to be with a man whom I don't find attractive but then because I love him, there might be some qualities I liked. And maybe it's the other people who don't find him attractive. Because when I love someone, I find him really good looking even though people don't think we look good together.

I'm not even talking about a 'butterface' or someone who was grotesquely out of shape/and ugly, just someone who he didn't find really attractive but loved because of their personality etc. Let's say you're honest like that.

Yep. I don't think the OP understands this.
